9 reasons to choose Salt’s Web Filter
1.We do not proxy data which means no latency to each request no need for (expensive) data centres. Instead, we
use the ICAP protocol (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol), making your experience a lot faster and cheaper.
2.We constantly monitor the web, giving you categorised and managed control control over 450
million URLs and 6 billion web pages in nearly
200 languages.
3.We do not need to configure your browser. Installing the
Cloud Link software to every computer handles all web
traffic on the PC with silent user authentication and monitoring.
4.Using notebooks and netbooks also poses no additional
issues, because Cloud Link protecs the PC regardless of
the Internet connection in use (ADSL, WiFi, 3G etc.).
5.You can view, manage and report on all your computers
and users running Cloud Link from one simple web application, whether you have 1 or 100 offices.
Web Security:
Content Filtering
Does the Internet and your access to it leave a bad
taste in your mouth? Don’t let unsavoury issues like
runaway costs, clogged bandwidth, inefficiency, loss
of productivity and unprotected employees and family
spoil a potentially perfect business tool.
Introducing Salt’s Cloud-based Web Filter: A Standards-based SaaS web filtering solution with easy Integration, low bandwidth overhead and an ultra low

6.Your infrastructure does not matter. Because Cloud Link
takes care of authentication and uses any available gateway to connect, you can run Active Directory, OpenLDAP,
Samba of any other conceivable environment.
7.Granular filtering rules means that you have 3 levels of
filtering policy: The default policy, which applies to everyone, the group policy which applies to members of a
group and the user policy, which applies to an individual
user.
8.Comprehensive reporting that tells you exactly what you
need to know should a violation of your acceptable usage
policy occur.
9.If you are a Value Added Reseller then we can give you
a partner login to the web application which allows you
provision and management of your own customers. You
can even upload your own logo and call the service your
own. This means you can easily add our hosted web security service to your portfolio as a value addition for your
customers.
